Secret files reveal the names of British agents who influenced the Palestinian
Authority.

A cache of leaked documents obtained by The Electronic Intifada reveals the
extent of British intelligence penetration of Palestinian Authority forces,
including "daily direction" from a UK military officer.

The documents detail how shadowy British contractor Adam Smith International
(ASI) has influenced the Palestinian Authority for almost 15 years.

They expose several military intelligence trainers, naming names for the first
time.

Two of the British agents, including a likely MI6 officer, worked closely with
Israeli spies.

Some ASI personnel who worked with the Palestinian Authority are named in the
files as also working with the contractor's controversial "Free Syrian Police"
project.

The program used British government funds to support al-Qaida-linked groups
fighting the Syrian government - inadvertently, ASI claims.

ASI training to the Palestinian Authority is done in Ramallah, Jericho and
Jordan, under the ultimate command of a US general, and in coordination with
Israel.

The Electronic Intifada used the same document cache to reveal in February that
the contractor had carried out a secret British government project to spy on
Palestinian refugee camps, with the aim of monitoring "criticism of Western and
Israeli foreign policy."
